Pope Urban II’s request against the Muslims in the Holy Land. The first Crusade reached its goal capturing the people of Jerusalem in 1099 and the Christians set up many Latin Christian states to regain control over their land. Justice as practitioners of faith, developments in secular Europe, and Papal encouragement to fight Muslims were three major factors behind the crusades. The first major factor talked about who caused the first blood that ignited the many years of warfare…

family was, just before he turned 20 he began exploring North America in 1603 when he was invited on an expidition of François Gravé Du Pont, who was his uncle.

Pen names are glass doors. While the truth seems visible it can not be truly seen without first getting passed the door. Shakespeare’s work has been admired for centuries and it has gained much respect, however, some say the work of Shakespeare may in fact not be his. There are many questions surrounding the topic of Shakespeare’s authorship and whether or not he could have really been the author of so many thought provoking and diverse plays. There is great argument over his lack of proper…

membership. To me this minimum requirement was the least of my worries, but for some members it was more than a worry. On the first grade check, about 12 of our members were placed on probation due to low grades. Our NJHS advisers worked with those on probation while the rest of us worked on our fundraisers. We were working towards a common goal, so things were moving smoothly those first…

monolithic faiths (Christianity, Judaism, and Islamic) fighting in the crusades. Despite their common roots the differences often cause conflict between them. The first crusaders went from Constantinople to Antioch (1096-1099). They fought isolated Turk forces on the way there. In 1212, religious zeal as well as poverty gave rise to what came to be known as the Children’s Crusade. Although historians debate the events and the participants surrounding this phenomenon, most agree that at least…

was forced to look at it through a microscopic lens in my tenth grade history class, and what I found was terrifying. During the Second World War, the Canadian military decided to build a training camp on land that was occupied by the Stoney Point First Nations tribe in Ipperwash Provincial Park. In 1900 the Canadian government previously wished to survey the land. The tribe resisted as the fear that the land would be misused and open the door of sales of their land and resources. (Holmes,…

Ellis found that irrational assumptions and core beliefs contribute to negative self-worth. He used three columns in therapy. The first column is the objective situation or negative event that causes the client to have an emotional response or negative thinking. The second column the client records the negative thoughts that they have had. The third column is for negative thoughts…

Muslim population. Without the Crusades, who knows how Europe could be shaped today? Could Islam followers have taken over Europe using jihad? Would Islam be the supreme religion of the world? So many questions, so little answers. First and foremost, the Crusades came to be due to Christians and Muslims not being on the same page. The Christians believed that they were fighting for Jesus to claim back his holy place of birth. However, the Muslims had it in their mind that they were defending…

individuals or countries that they owe to either the government or another country at no expense or strings attached, thus giving them a clean slate and a new start. Also, debt forgiveness of third world countries to its citizens or debt forgiveness of first world countries such as America towards third world countries can help reduce and end poverty. However, debt forgiveness is a controversial idea viewed by some people…
